TheDelivery Chargecovers the costs of delivering electricity from generating stations across Ontario and then to your home or business. It includes the costs to build and maintain transmission and distribution lines, towers and poles and to operate provincial and local electricity systems. Hydro Ottawa''s distribution charge, which is included in the delivery charge, represents only a small portion of your bill.

We pass on the remaining charges, without mark-up, to the other companies responsible for generating electricity, transmitting it, and to regulators and the provincial government. A portion of these charges are fixed and do not change from month to month. The rest are variable and increase or decrease depending on the amount of electricity that you use. Please see the chart below for a break-down of these charges.*

In Ontario, electricity supply comes from diverse sources. The system-wide supply mix is the combination of power sources used to generate the electricity consumed in Ontario.

The below graphic discloses the system-wide electricity supply mix data for 2023, which was published by the Ontario Energy Board (OEB) on May 22, 2024.

Hydro Ottawa Limited[1] is a regulated electricity distribution company operating in the City of Ottawa and the Village of Casselman in Ontario, Canada. As the third-largest municipally-owned electrical utility in Ontario, Hydro Ottawa maintains the electricity distribution systems in the city, and serves over 335,000 residential and commercial customers across a service area of 1,100 square kilometres.[2]

Hydro Ottawa was formed in November 2000 from the amalgamation of five local distribution companies (Gloucester Hydro, Goulbourn Hydro, Kanata Hydro, Nepean Hydro and Ottawa Hydro).[3] The history of the supply of electricity began in the 1880s with private electrical suppliers, became public in the early 1900s and continued in competition with private suppliers, chiefly those of Thomas Ahearn and his companies, until the 1950s.

In 1882, Electric lighting in Ottawa started in at Young''s mill in LeBreton Flats (the previous year had seen Eddy''s mill lit by electricity, on the Hull side). A year later, the House of Commons and the Senate were illuminated.[4]

In 1887, the Chaudière Electric Light and Power Company was formed by Thomas Ahearn, a local man and partner of Ahearn & Soper, formed in the early 1880s.[4] In 1890, there were two electrical providers, (Clemow''s) Ottawa Electric Light Company, and Ahearn''s company, Chaudière Electric Light and Power Company.[10]

In 1894[11] Ahearn merged Ottawa Electric Light Company, and Chaudière Electric Light and Power Company, and bought out Standard Electric Company of Ottawa (Limited)[12] in the process, naming it Ottawa Electric Company, creating a virtual monopoly on electrical services in Ottawa.[4] (Erskine Henry Bronson played a role in the development of this company).

The following decades would see a continuous struggle between the City of Ottawa and Thomas Ahearn regarding the supplying of electricity to the city. In 1899 (possibly 1901),[13] a charter was granted by the city to Consumers Electric, a rival company to Ahearn''s Ottawa Electric Company. In 1905, The City purchased Consumers Electric for $200,000, ending Ahearn''s ongoing attempts at acquiring the company. They renamed it "Municipal Electric Department" which was the city''s public electricity provider.[4]

In 1908 Ahearn & Soper bought the Ottawa Gas Company, and with the Ottawa Electric Company formed the Ottawa Light, Heat and Power Company Limited.[4] This parent holding company wholly owned the two previous companies and would refer to Ottawa Electric as its "Ottawa Electric division" well into the new century. This meant that there were no longer outside shareholders to Ottawa Electric, but there were shareholders to Ottawa Light, Heat and Power Company.

In 1915 the "Municipal Electric Department" became Ottawa Hydro; named as the "Ottawa Hydro Electric Commission", when it joined forces with the provincial network of the Ontario Hydro Electric Commission.[4]
